I'm a private tutor.


One of my parents has a child who doesn't complete homework for similar reasons.

I go once a week for an hour and we do homework together, complete some and organise the rest into small manageable chunks and complete a homework timetable together for getting it done.  It removes all the nagging from the parents, provides support and gives the child joint responsibility in getting the rest completed and a say in when that will be done.


It's not ideal, and I don't know what private tutors charge in your area, but it might take the stress off you and help a bit.  It took a while to build up a good relationship with the child, but it works well now.


He likes the fact that it's every week at the same time as he feels comfortable with reliable routine.  He also likes the colour-coded timetable with small chunks of time for different subjects and the fact that it is organised (by him) and follows a pattern.
